He needs to keep on doing what he's doing. The only people questioning his ability are the ones who don't like to see a young cocky black guy succeed in life. This is the sad truth, because even Stevie Wonder can see that this kid is going to go far in the sport. At 22 years of age he is talented but also perfecting his craft. Those people that want to fast track him into the lions den so quick are the ones that want to see him fail.
130: Takashi Uchiyama, Juan Carlos Burgo. Even though these guys are pretty much no names but top at 130 in a empty division Move up to 135 and fight someone like Hank Lundy for a test at a higher weight then Rios-Gamboa winner, Demarco. He is only 22 and is very young though. However, once you are a champ you gotta start fight tough opposition, no backward steps.
Drop his Floyd impersonation, and the ridiculous "brush my hair pops" thing... and for the rest, keep doing what he's doing.
Broner seems legit in the way he acts. I don't believe he is a "Floyd impersonator", that is just the way he is. Cocky, loud, charismatic, likes to dance. That is the way many black people are, this isn't some impersonation, its the real deal.
Stop acting like an arsehole. Fight a live opponent his own size. He has a long way to go to be legit, especially since he has fought shitty competition since getting a gift decision over the much smaller Ponce De Leon. The kid has talent but seems to be running a bit short on brain cells.
after beating up a guy like this...just act like youve done it before and save the extras for a guy that at least has a chance This content is protected
To be accepted as the real deal? Are you a moron? Do you not meet people in real life whom you've never got in with due to their persona? This is the exact same. I think guys like Mayweather and Broner are excellent fighters, but I hate their personalities and anyone who calls me a 'hater' has never gone outside and met people. As people, we can choose our friends, just like we can choose who we like and dislike in Boxing. I don't like Broner and Mayweather because of their personalities. I love a guy like Andre Ward, who is also an exceptional fighter but he is humble, down to earth guy and a good person at heart. That is the difference. I hope you people will understand that.
